Today we went to the Virginia Tech vs. Georgia Tech football game! We were told that this is the loudest stadium in the country due to its design, even though it only holds 55,000 people.
We were winning the entire game….except for the last 3 seconds 🙁
Tailgaters everywhere!
We stopped at a lemonade stand on the way back to the car and headed home to Penny 🙂
We hope you have a super great, relaxing day filled with happiness! We love you!
Casey and I went to Blacksburg, VA to the location of the undergraduate VT campus, about 40 minutes away. We were amazed by the beauty of the campus-it was gorgeous! We both got VT shirts in preparation for our first football game we are going to on Saturday! Go Hokies!
We also went out to dinner with about 30 of Casey’s classmates to celebrate the other September birthdays 🙂
Today we picked Casey up from school. Penny got to play fetch and we visited the river 🙂
And today, a King’s shirt arrived for Casey! He’s one happy guy!
Besides the usual shtuff, today we refilled our water jugs (Yes, we finally found a place to refill at so we can reuse our jugs and not pay $14 for 10 gallons of water…yikes!) and Casey received an awesome King’s hat in the mail! We will be making phone calls tomorrow to find out who sent it-he loves it, so THANK YOU! 🙂
To my other half,
You make me a better person, you make me laugh, and you always care for me. I am so proud of you. Happy Birthday!
Love you always,
Sharell
A scenic drive took us to our next adventure location!
The Roanoke River Trail
Color galore!
Through the forest, under a bridge, to the…power plant…? we go!
We ended up at Niagara Hydro Power plant. If you hear sirens, you have exactly 2 minutes to head to high ground in order to avoid the dangerously high water level rise coming. No wonder there were sandals and t shirts left behind.
The little one had fun splashing in the pools and soaking in the dead crayfish water. Yum. At least we wore her out before the thunderstorm 🙂
Look what was waiting for me when I came downstairs this morning. How did I get so lucky?! At least he didn’t put the cup back in the cabinet.
Anyway, back to work.
Let’s all give a round of applause to Penny for finally going BOTH potties on her porch potty! Sorry for the TMI, but we are too excited and proud of her not to share 🙂
